Self-Empowerment to better humanity

    There is a war being waged against each of us as individuals. My thoughts on some unspoken conflict in humanity and how individual self-empowerment can solve most:

     

    Empower individuals to make themselves better humans and the problems of humanity will be fixed. Do not confuse individual empowerment with lawlessness, laws provide structure and boundary to allow society to function and must exist. Empower every human with the ability to think for themselves, to believe what they believe to be the truth and provide the tools necessary to help them make themselves better. The power of an individual should not reside outside of the individual, it should come from within, teach them to believe in themselves and they in turn can teach others the same.
